Metro to host public meetings on carpool lane construction

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority will host two public meetings in the Santa Clarita Valley this month to inform residents about Interstate 5 carpool construction.

Metro officials also plan to provide information about speeding up the freeway construction process. Those who drive the Newhall Pass daily often complain about the lengthy time required for freeway construction through the area.

The new carpool lanes will be constructed on Interstate 5 from Highway 14 to Parker Road in Castaic.
